The blue water-lily abounds in several of the
canals in Alexandria, Egypt,
which at certain seasons become dry; and the beds of these canals,
which quickly become burnt as hard as bricks
by the action of the sun, are then used as carriage roads.
When, however, the water is admitted again, the lily
resumes its growth with redoubled vigour and splendour.
(taken from Cowman writings)
Isn't this a picture of our lives when at times in the seasons of life we become parched and dried and we are used in the hard things of life. Oh, but then the sweetness of the rain comes and begins to soften and we see little buds begin to sprout and we sense the vigor renewed life and that which we thought was gone is again restored. In Joel 2:25 God says, ' I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten"
Remember "GOD CAN"
